So which way will Xi be pushed? Will he come to the negotiating table or will this become a kinetic war with Taiwan being the first target since they’ve war gamed that area so much?
Most analysts say China can only make a move in April or October due to sea conditions.
If China starts withering economically, they can pass off a lot of that pain to the rest of the world by attacking Taiwan, who produces the vast vast majority of high-end chips in the world.
I've read that one US strategy on the table if China tries to take Taiwan will be for the United States to bomb those chipmaking factories so that they don't fall into the hands of (exclusively) China.
It is incredibly difficult and expensive to build one of those factories.
The book China the rising power 2009. Predicted war with China by 2025. The problems she identified as to china's major problems are almost all internal. First China will vacate their colonial belts and roads initiative which American consumers finance through purchase of Chinese goods. As China pulls back we will be exposed to the big lie about Chinese population numbers. China has an aging work force, big issues from the former one child policy, dissatisfaction at tje elite level with communist rulership, among many things are china's declining catalyst. Of course China wants to lay it all on the tarriffs. China has been tearing down entire cities for the past 7 years. We have not been told everything about China by a stretch.
Living in Asia for nearly 2 decades has shown me that the average Chinese looks down upon all other cultures, especially those in the West and believes they should be subservient. In many ways, they make Aryans look like boyscouts. Financial power over others is the driving force behind the average Chinese. You can thank 50-60 years of little to no religion offering morality for this. Should these tariffs continue, and I hope they do, Xi will eventually be forced from power and it won't be subtle.
It's always the people who suffer as opposed to those in power.
Correct.
But the Chinese merchant class suffering so badly is a direct internal threat to the CCP's power.
The average Chinese human being is NOT our enemy.
How long till the riots start? Can you already hear how cruel we are?

That's the million dollar question.

🤔 Can their economy last until October?
China can't take Taiwan. Do you think a country that builds the most advanced chips in the world doesn't also have extremely advanced weapons?

They, the CCP, cannot Risk a Kinetic War with Taiwan, especially now, or they could become The Northeast Taiwan Province....
